Public bug reported: Binary package hint: brightside
Brightside as shipped with Ubuntu does not interact with xscreensaver, while it would be very easy to provide this functionality. I mean that brightside could call gnome-screensaver-command first and, if that fails, call xscreeensaver-command next. Or maybe xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver could use the alternatives mechanism to present a common interface. Anyway, I think this should be fixed. As a very simple workaround, I wrote a script that I put in /usr/local/bin, which interfaces brightside with xscreensaver by converting invocation to gnome-screensaver-command to invocation to xscreensaver-command. By the way, this bug is a consequence of the fix to <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2006-April/187152.html>, a fix wich in my opinion was too quick. ** Affects: brightside (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- brightside only knows about gnome-screensaver, ignores xscreensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
